You think I’m a vampire
When I lick my lips it looks like I’ve been sipping on a cold glass of type A positive
Shanghaied from the back of a Red Cross truck
But really I hate the taste of Blood
Its metallic flavor makes me cringe
I stay indoors once every 6 months
I try every medication left of cold relief
I even tried vodka on a q-tip
nothing ever works so for now I go on looking like a slob who can’t wipe his mouth after a 3rd virgin bloody mary
Really I’m just a victim
of my mother who passed this disease to me as a youth
I’m contagious as hell and need to remind others
I try to sidestep ever saying the words
but this time I don’t give a flying phuck
I have herpes of the upper lip.
